[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683735, member: 19522"] Thanks IC, sorry I am on my phone and my chubby fingers posted before I was done. Ahem. So, there I was sitting there listening to Rains testimony, stomach churning, but trying to remain composed. The guy.......whom I have never seen before, kept turning around, his eyes met mine and I glared at him. Long and hard. His attorney tried to poke holes in Rains testimony, but in my opinion he ended up supporting the case with his questioning. Rain broke down a few times, but held her ground. The judge ruled in favor and set an arraignment and court date. $50,000 bail. We sat with the advocate and prosecutor and they explained what happens next. I called hubs who was feeling dizzy, so we said our goodbyes. I resisted temptation to say anything about rehab. Encouraged Rain to take care and follow through. She said she would call me. Hubs must have the flu. It is going around. His temp is hovering at 101. I heard some terrible things in that courtroom, most of which confirmed what I knew about the meth use, but it was the first time I have [I]actually heard her say it[/I]. Into a f@€{*ng microphone.......it bounced around my skull. I winced inside, but held my composure. The defense attorney was trying to use that to prove she may not be a viable witness. It didn't work. Meth. Meth is a horrible, horrible drug. It is also why I cannot have my daughter living at home. I pray that she will be released from its clutches, but it is up to her. I no longer have a cloud of guilt hovering over my head. I feel sorrowful at the circumstances surrounding my daughter. No one deserves to be mistreated. What this man did to her.....I want to scream. I want to magically incinerate meths existence off the planet. What my daughter on meth has done to herself.......it echoes in my head. If you go on meth websites, violence and psychosis is a major part of the insidiousness of this drug. I have tried to help my daughter, but she does not want to quit. So, her choice is to live in the park, homeless and high. I hope that one day that will not be her choice. I love her with all of my heart. [I]My head hurts.[/I].......probably from all of the screaming that was going on inside of it during this hearing. Oh my God it was a hearing alright. [I] The things I heard. [/I] [I]Somebody please save my daughter.[/I]..... What a strange life..... What a strange day. Wait there is more....... To add to it, a lady walked by us as we sat on those benches and [I]I recognized her. [/I]She looked at me.... I know her from paddling. Rains advocate said...."that's my supervisor". [I](This is where you insert weird music playing in the background, like a horror film)[/I] She came and said hello and handed me her card. We chatted briefly about paddling and then of course .....there was this kind of awkwardness and.....intuitive silent acknowledgement of this...... [I]April Fools Day.[/I] I will be having a cocktail to calm my nerves. Stunned leafy [/QUOTE]
